The Spring boy found severely malnourished last month was cleared to consume solid food - and he wanted McDonald's.

"The first thing that he asked for was a Happy Meal," Suzannah Gale said Sunday. "It just really did make it a happy meal."

Gale is a Heights resident organizing a Toys for Jordan drive through Facebook to bring joy to the boy and raise money for his medical expenses.

The youngster, who weighed 29 pounds when he was discovered by deputy constables on March 28, had been on a 300-calorie-per-day diet since he was admitted to the hospital early March 29.

No more feeding tube

After a week in recovery, the boy was taken off of a feeding tube, intravenous therapy and dietary restrictions, said Gale, who visited the child and his biological mother, Windy Hall, in the hospital on Saturday.

The boy's father and stepmother have been charged with child endangerment. Tami Bleimeyer has been released on $2,000 bail. Bradley Bleimeyer remains in the Harris County Jail on $150,000 bail.

Birthday party ahead

Individual donors from across the country have showered generosity on the boy, whose starvation case garnered international attention. The Facebook page has recruited more than three dozen businesses across the region as drop-off sites for clothes and other gifts.

An anonymous contributor gave Gale a Toys R Us gift card, and with that she purchased the LeapFrog tablet-based digital educational system for the child.

Hall, who had not seen her son in two years, was reunited with him in the hospital.

Even though the boy turned 5 on Feb. 3, Hall has promised him a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's.
